Silver Fillings

Silver-colored fillings, or amalgam fillings, have been used for generations in dentistry. They are
very durable and long lasting. Amalgam is made from a combination of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and
copper. The filling sets quicker than composites, making it an ideal filling material for those who are not able to
sit still for long periods of time. Because of its durability, it is a great option for treating larger cavities on
back teeth.
